Add temperature to data logging...
I have several situations where I need a data logger for temperatures. I don’t need tremendous accuracy (ie no external probe), just trend recording. There just aren’t any economical temp loggers available that I’ve found. For the price, I could buy several Pokits just for this. The wireless connectivity makes it even simpler.
I showed this to our HVAC repair texhnician and he went nuts. They could easily place a Pokit inside an air duct and retrieve it later for analysis.
I think you could even market it just for that.
Regardless, it seems like a FW only change and would add great functionality.

I would also like to be able to log the temperature.
Currently, only current and voltage can be selected here.
To monitor the temperature of a device or a room, this would be very useful.
Prerequisite for this, of course, that the correct temperature is displayed.
For me, a difference of about 9 degrees Celsius can be seen in the measurement.
Ideal would be of course if you could additionally connect a temperature sensor.

I'm slightly confused about temperature measurement. I had assumed we'd need to attach an external thermocouple but it seems there's one built into the housing? If so, I agree that it's more than a few degrees out - not the claimed +/- 1.0 degree in the spec. Hopefully that's something that can be addressed/calibrated in a future firmware update?

+1 for temperature logging. One of the features I assumed was there and a big use case for me.
For bonus points, measure temperature and the analog input (yes, this is probably much harder than it sounds, as it would mean handling a second data stream).
Eg then when camping I can use it to monitor my battery voltage, and the temperature. Or logging an experiment with temperature.1
